April Publications
C63.7-2005
American
National Standard Guide for Construction of Open-Area Test Sites for Performing
Radiated Emission Measurements
Information that is useful in constructing an open-area test site (OATS)
used to perform radiated emission measurements in the frequency range
of 30-1000 MHz is provided. Final validity of the test site can only be
made by performing site attenuation measurements as described in ANSI
C63.4-2003.
P802.1AD (D5.1)
Draft
Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks-- Virtual Bridged Local
Area Networks-- Amendment 4: Provider Bridges
This amendment enables a Service Provider to use the architecture and
protocols of IEEE Std 802.1Q to offer the equivalent of separate LANs,
Bridged Local Area Networks, or Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks to
a number of users, while requiring no cooperation between the users, and
minimal cooperation between each user and the provider.
C95.1-2005
IEEE
Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz
Recommendations to protect against harmful effects in human beings exposed
to electromagnetic fields in the frequency range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz
are provided in this standard. These recommendations are intended to apply
in controlled environments and for general population exposure. These
recommendations are not intended to apply to the exposure of patients
by or under the direction of physicians and medical professionals.

IEEE
Standard SystemC Language Reference Manual
SystemC(R) is defined in this standard. SystemC(R) is an ANSI standard
C++ class library for system and hardware design for use by designers
and architects who need to address complex systems that are a hybrid between
hardware and software. This standard provides a precise and complete definition
of the SystemC(R) class library so that a SystemC(R) implementation can
be developed with reference to this standard alone. The primary audiences
for this standard are the implementors of the SystemC(R) library, the
implementors of tools supporting the class library, and users of the class
library.
1364-2005
IEEE
Standard for Verilog Hardware Description Language
The Verilog hardware description language (HDL) is defined in this standard.
Verilog HDL is a formal notation intended for use in all phases of the
creation of electronic systems. Because it is both machine-readable and
human-readable, it supports the development, verification, synthesis,
and testing of hardware designs; the communication of hardware design
data; and the maintenance, modification, and procurement of hardware.
The primary audiences for this standard are the implementors of tools
supporting the language and advanced users of the language. Keywords:
computer, computer languages, digital systems, electronic systems, hardware,
hardware description languages, hardware design, HDL, PLI, programming
language interface, Verilog, Verilog HDL, Verilog PL.
Ethernet
in the First Mile: Access for Everyone -
Available now!
IEEE Std 802.3ah-2004 is an outstanding resource for those building
products compatible with the Ethernet in the First Mile standard. This
book brings the standard to life by explaining the basic principles behind
the standard, presenting the tradeoffs that led to the standardization
of the specific technologies, and providing a guide to help you navigate
through the formal prose.
The
IEEE Color Books Industrial Power Pack
With sales in the tens of thousands spanning nearly two decades, the IEEE
Color Books Standards series has earned its reputation as an essential
resource for electrical power production, distribution, and utilization
in industrial and commercial power systems. In recent years, all 12 volumes
could be purchased in print, or on CD for added savings and convenience.
Now, for the first time, all 12 IEEE Color Books, and over 300 referenced
standards are available on this limited edition DVD for Windows, MacOS,
or UNIX.
This product greatly eases the intimidating process of sifting through
each book to determine its applicability and to identify the referenced
standards. The rapid expansion and critical future of the power industry
requires familiarity with numerous IEEE technical standards. Arranged
according to each of the 12 original IEEE Color Books, this special edition
DVD includes authentic originals plus any applicable revisions of all
referenced IEEE standards through January 1, 2006.
IEEE Standards Frequently
Asked Questions
Thanks for checking into the IEEE Standards FAQs! The IEEE
Standards Department has developed this series of Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs) to provide answers about many aspects of the
standards process.
How To Get Involved In Standards Development
Getting involved in IEEE standards provides you the opportunity
to network with industry peers and broaden your understanding of your
industry and technology, as well as to gain familiarity with the content
of standards in which you are involved - facilitating early compliance
and anticipating market requirements.

Standard Testability Method for Embedded Core-based Integrated Circuits
This standard defines a mechanism for the test of core designs within
a system on chip (SoC). This mechanism constitutes a hardware architecture
and leverages the core test language (CTL) to facilitate communication
between core designers and core integrators.

IEEE Standard for Methods of Measurement of Radio-Frequency Power-Line
Interference Filter in the Range of 100 Hz to 10 GHz
Uniform methods of measurements of radio-frequency power-line interference
filter attenuation performance in the range of 100 Hz to 10 GHz are set
forth. Nonloaded and loaded attenuation measurements are presented with
varying source impedance, including radiofrequency current injection with
linear and nonlinear load impedances. H- and S-parameter measurements
are introduced for modeling results. New methods for placing filter performance
criteria on a filter label are also included.
